"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

on Spn? I've been wondering if I'm supposed to remember how that happened.

The actor. He fell off something on the set (I think doing something actually TV-show related, not just randomly flailing down a flight of stairs or something). There was mention of the fact they had him in a removable cast for some weeks, till they could write into the show why he might suddenly be in a hard cast.

Ultimately I think it was the zombie chick who tackled him and he walked away saying, "I think she broke my arm."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

sarameg, that would be Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay, who is incidentally an author of the publisher that some Buffistas work for.

Because books.

I've always thought it was odd that we start the New Year by being hungover, sleeping late, and taking the day off.

And despite the fact that I am Chandler-Bingesque smoker, it is very bizarre to think that we light something on fire and then STICK IT IN OUR MOUTHS and inhale the smoke. I mean, really, how the hell did this practice catch on?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Heh. Thanks, Nutty.

Heh. For some reason, this flashed me to the lyrics to Lumina: Babies will put things in their mouths / Never heard of sin

Theo, thanks!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

What I don't understand about smoking is why the first person did it. We have an Indian with a tobacco plant. He tried eating the leaves, but it made him sick, tobacco being quite poisonous. He then said, "I can't eat this, so I think I'll dry it and inhale the smoke."

Also, who first separated eggs and whipped the egg whites? Why would you do that? Yes, it turns out you get fluffy goodness, but why would that occur to anyone?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I recall a story (in one of my middle school texts, I think) in which the fallen civilization was buried in junk mail and the toilet seat was interpreted as a headdress. You'd strap the seat cover to your forehead with a ribbon reading "Sanitized for your protection."

Was it this book?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'd try separating eggs before I'd eat the first artichoke. And I love artichokes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, who first separated eggs and whipped the egg whites? Why would you do that? Yes, it turns out you get fluffy goodness, but why would that occur to anyone?

Early humans were taught by a time-traveling Julia Child?

Maybe they used it ritually in fires or for smudging and then thought "I can get this buzz more efficiently if I make a tiny fire just for me"
